Supermodel Gisele Bündchen has significantly expanded her Florida property collection with the acquisition of a breathtaking $14.5 million mansion in Miami's exclusive Surfside neighbourhood, positioned directly beside her current residence.

The stunning six-bedroom property represents another substantial investment in the area where Bündchen has resided for years. According to exclusive photographs obtained by the Daily Mail, the spacious estate features manicured grounds dotted with palm trees, a substantial swimming pool, and its own private boat dock extending into Biscayne Bay.
Recent property listings describe the palatial villa as containing six bathrooms, top-of-the-line appliances, and a private spa facility, all designed to facilitate what marketing materials term the 'ultimate coastal lifestyle'. The Brazilian model's new acquisition strengthens her foothold in one of Miami's most prestigious postcodes.
Neighbourhood of the Elite
Bündchen's property move places her within an exclusive circle of high-profile residents. Her ex-husband, NFL legend Tom Brady, lives just across Biscayne Bay on Indian Creek Island – an enclave nicknamed the 'Billionaire Bunker' due to its wealthy inhabitants including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos.
The supermodel's current neighbours include power couple Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, with whom Bündchen was photographed enjoying a yacht lunch this past September alongside her boyfriend, Joaquim Valente. Both Bündchen and Trump reportedly share not just a neighbourhood but also a gym, where they train with Valente.
New Chapter with Trainer Boyfriend
Bündchen, 45, has been dating Costa Rican jiu-jitsu instructor Joaquim Valente, 38, since November 2022, when they were first pictured holidaying together in Costa Rica. The couple made their relationship official in June 2023 and welcomed a baby son in February this year.
According to sources speaking to Page Six, the pregnancy was unexpected, though Valente had 'always wanted a family'. The newborn represents Bündchen's third child – she already shares daughter Vivian Lake, 11, and son Benjamin Rein, 15, with Brady, and was stepmother to Brady's eldest son John, 18, from his previous relationship with actress Bridget Moynahan.
Valente has been spotted repeatedly at the new property in recent weeks, as well as at the couple's $9 million ranch in Southwest Ranches, located approximately 15 miles south of Fort Lauderdale.
Life After Brady
Bündchen's relationship with Valente began the same year she finalised her divorce from NFL superstar Tom Brady in 2022. Speaking to Vanity Fair the following year, the model explained that they had 'grown apart' over time.
'Sometimes you grow together; sometimes you grow apart,' Bündchen reflected. 'When I was 26 years old and he was 29 years old, we met, we wanted a family, we wanted things together.' As time passed, she said they realised they 'just wanted different things,' leading to a difficult 'choice to make.'
Despite their separation, the former couple maintain an amicable relationship. Sources indicate Bündchen felt she had 'lived in his shadow' for some time and is now embracing her 'new chapter' with Valente.
At the time of their divorce, the power couple were estimated to share a combined fortune of $733 million. Bündchen had achieved remarkable success with over 550 ad campaigns, 2,000 magazine covers, and 800 fashion shows, while Brady had completed 22 NFL seasons, winning seven Super Bowl titles and breaking numerous records.
Like his ex-wife, Brady maintains significant property investments, including a $17 million mansion in the same Miami neighbourhood and a custom-built home in Los Angeles' upscale Brentwood suburb, where his neighbours include Vice President Kamala Harris and basketball star LeBron James.
Bündchen's property portfolio now includes at least four Florida homes, cementing her status as a serious investor in the state's luxury real estate market.
